Forget private keys, if Craig Wright was Satoshi he could post his now defunct bitcointalk password on Twitter...but he can't even do that. Also, since everyone in the thread is retarded, my bottom call around 10 months ago was "probably stabilize around $4200-4400 with flash crashes to $3000", while Tera's was "might drop as low as $1000". You can build a statue in the town square of whoever the winner is.
Are we gonna have another bull run or this is it ?
One of the biggest issues I see is that when the price of bitcoin was $200 or less, it had viable attraction to low, medium and high income punters and speculators even if they knew nothing about it. Random middle class people would take a risk for a few hundred bucks. When someone says, "$6000, cheap coins!", who the fuck believes that? Nobody. That's like half a car to a random middle class salary man.
The general public is probably outta here for good now. If you were depending on the general public to be your greater fools, it probably ain't happening. That's why I said numerous times before, all this market is now is whales like Bitmain, Winklevoss, Roger Ver, and Tim Draper all trying to scam each other in a zero sum game. If something manages to make the price go parabolic again, I highly doubt it's going to the aggregate of the general public, it will be something like more Tether Fraud, a huge implosion from no greater fools to buy the Tether fraud, and then BitFinex disappearing permanently with international manhunts.
But there's also another thing I have to mention. In the old days of bitcoin when it was trading from $200-$800, the price was CLEARLY moved in a manner where the only thing cared about was what type of percentage gain can someone get by moving it from point A to B. They didn't care about if the price went up or down in other words, only what type of profit could be extracted from the move. After the price went higher than that, the market changed entirely and became much more artificial where you could tell people were bending over backwards attempting to artificially prop up the price instead. Almost as obvious as the amount of effort that goes into trying to suppress metals, except the inverse for bitcoin.
